7-Day West Georgia Itinerary: Sea, Tea, & Monasteries

Some of the most affordable flights into Georgia actually land in Kutaisi in the west of the country. And many people just jump straight on a bus to head to Tbilisi. ✨️ Get 20% off our Wine & Mountains East Georgia itinerary through Tbilisi, Kazbegi and Telavi when you buy this itinerary!

After spending six months travelling to almost every corner of Georgia, I have put together this itinerary which will take you to Georgia's second and third cities, UNESCO monasteries, Soviet cable cars, tea plantations (who knew?!), and the Black Sea Coast. This detailed itinerary gives you info on things to do, where to eat, how to travel around on local transport (and a more comfortable alternative), as well as recommendations on accommodation to make sure that you are based in the best areas. AND, at the end, are practical and useful things to know before you travel to Georgia: best ATM without withdrawal fees for foreign cards, SIM card provider, taxi apps, must-learn Georgian phrases. This guide is adventure and foodie based, with a budget travel focus. But, there are also a couple of fancier options too. This itinerary covers: 📍Kutaisi ⛪️ 📍Chiatura 🚠 📍Ozurgeti 🍵 📍Batumi 🌊 And if you also fancy heading over to Tbilisi, or spending two weeks in Georgia, you could bolt on our East Georgia itinerary focusing on mountains and wine!
